國產電影海外票房超百萬元將獲國家獎勵
Chinese authorities are determined to increase the international presence of domestic films, with a fresh government circular promising to award those performing well in the overseas market.
近日，一份最新發布的政府通知承諾，將獎勵在海外市場表現出色的國產電影，這體現了國家增強國產電影國際影響力的決心。A Chinese producer or agent authorized to handle the overseas business of a domestic film will be awarded if the film's overseas box office reaches at least one million yuan (153,400 U.S. dollars), according to a notice published Wednesday by the national film industry development special fund management commission, an institution under the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.
根據國家廣播電影電視總局下屬的國家電影專資委上週三發佈的通知稱，國產電影的海外市場票房收入達到100萬元以上的，對中方出品單位或持有中方出品單位授權代理海外業務的中方單位給予獎勵。The circular did not specify how much money will be given out, although it did say that the award amount will not exceed one percent of the film's international box office.
儘管有消息表示，這一獎項的金額將不超過該片電影國際票房的百分之一，但是該通知中並沒有具體說明獎金金額。
The move is "aimed at guiding more Chinese movies into the global stage" and "encouraging more production of well-performing movies overseas," it said.
該通知稱，這項行動是爲了鼓勵更多的中國電影走向世界，引導製片單位生產更多的優秀國產影片在海外市場取得良好成績。The institution also said it would award 20 Chinese films with good "social and economic benefits" each year. Each production will receive "no more than six million yuan" if selected by a commission established by the institution.
該機構還表示，每年將獎勵20部具有良好的“社會和經濟利益”的國產電影。如果被由該機構組建的委員會所選中。每一部作品將獲得“不超過六百萬元”的獎勵。It won't be easy compete for that award, however. To be eligible, each film should be viewed by at least 100,000 people, with its domestic box office reaching 20 million yuan, according to the institution.
然而，競爭這項獎勵並不是件容易的事。根據該機構所規定的，爲符合條件，每部電影都應有至少10萬人觀看，國內票房要達到2000萬元。China's box office sales could reach as high as 66 billion yuan in 2016 before probably overtaking North America's box office in 2017, but the country is struggling to boost the development of domestic films, with quality remaining a stumbling block, experts said.
有專家表示，中國的票房收入在2016年可能會達到660億元，很可能在2017年前超越北美票房收入。但是中國正努力推動國內電影的發展，影片的質量仍然是面臨的一大難題。
